Location Description:
The city of Palermo was founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century B.C. and used as a commercial transhipment point. An important milestone was the construction of a port called Panormos by the Greeks.
Later, the city was conquered by the Romans, then occupied by the Vandals and followed by the Ostrogoths. Throughout history, the government of the city passed from hand to hand, until this conquest was completed by Garibaldi, who in 1861 became part of the Kingdom of Italy and then Italy. Since 2015, the city has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The main destination for tourists is the many wonderful monuments reminiscent of the rich times of Arab and Norman rule. Here you will find churches, palaces, Baroque and Renaissance buildings and beautiful mosaics. The historic city centre is characterised by a combination of Norman and Oriental architecture, parks and historic gardens. Street markets are very popular here, more reminiscent of a visit to Africa.
Palermo is a lively city that certainly has something to offer. The palm trees, the climate, the tropical vegetation and the exotic look of the city together with the sea air will surely enchant you. The foreign charm of the city and the most beautiful monuments are the main reasons for the high popularity of this destination.
All the most important places in Palermo are located in the city centre, in the four districts of Albergheria, Capo, Vucciria and La Kalsa, which are connected by the Quattro Canti junction. This can be considered at the same time a landmark for the whole city.
One of the most beautiful monuments is the church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti, while the most visited monument in Palermo is the Cappella Palatina, which is a true artistic jewel.
Palermo is also famous for its markets, located mainly in the Albergheria district.
